After the success of its 2010 Countdown to Christmas Week, Syfy will once again be celebrating the holiday season with a week-long programming festival in December 2011.
This year, the big movie even will be Neverland which features Keira Knightley as the voice of Tinker Bell.
In addition, Countdown to Christmas Week will also include holiday-themed episodes of Syfy’s series such as Warehouse 13, Ghost Hunters, Haven and Eureka, and the Saturday Original Movie Snowmageddon (working title).
Neverland, a prequel to author J.M. Barrie’s classic Peter Pan, sweeps in time from the turbulent seas of the pirates of the Caribbean and the back alleys of Dickensian London to a world of pure imagination. In addition to Knightley, the cast includes Rhys Ifans (Pirate Radio, Notting Hill) as James Hook, Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies) as Captain Elizabeth Bonny, Oscar nominee Bob Hoskins as Smee (who previously played the character in Steven Spielberg’s feature Hook), Raoul Trujillo (Tin Man) and Charlie Rowe (Pirate Radio) as one of literature’s most cherished characters, Peter Pan.
In the Saturday Original Movie Snowmageddon, a child’s toy snow globe begins showing “fake” disasters — which then come true with catastrophic consequences.
